Pet Peeves

Praxeas · #1 11-24-2010, 10:42 PM

Personal space: I understand on a subway train or on an air plane, but in line at a store some creepy looking dude has to stand less than a foot away from me is invading my space. And then everytime the line moves that person sticks to ya like glue.

Another Pet Peeve: Going to a fast food place and ordering chicken strips or tenders or whatever and they don't ask you what you want for sauce. Then when you kindly tell them they drop something in your bag, you drive off and get home realizing they gave you enough for one stinking strip!

I hear ya! It is like going through the Taco Bell drive through and telling them you want the Fire sauce (for 4 soft shell taco's) and finding they give you 3 packets -instead of the 8 that I would have normally used. And if you get someone who hates anything spicy they will hear you say "Fire" and automatically put in medium or hot.

You want catchup with those fries? Is 1 pack enough? Are you crazy? Is one enough for YOU?

They act like every condiment they give out comes out of their paycheck

Even worse is when they give you no hot sauce at all. I went through a taco place a while back and ordered tacos.... got down the road and realized they'd given me NO sauce. It's the only time in my entire life I've eaten tacos with no hot sauce. Not even the same food! Yuck!

This is one of my all-time major pet peeves. At the top of my list. And I don't care if they're creepy looking or beautiful. Give me some SPACE. I've started keeping the shopping cart BEHIND me. And even then they'll often nudge the cart into you.

Drivers who enter the highway at a slow speed and/or think YOU'RE the one who has to yield.

You buncha crybabies. Is that all you can do on Thanksgiving is complain? My pet peeve is people who complain about their pet peeves.

Drive a big motorhome. It's fun to watch their faces whe they finally figure out that that mammoth vehicle isn't going to move for them (a lot of the time I can't move anyway). The funniest moment I had was when a guy came down the entrance ramp, saw I wasn't moving, braked and tried to whip in behind me only to discover I was towing a car behind me. He ended up on the shoulder.

I had a good snicker over that one.

At least somebody learned a lesson!
